Temecula
Couple Celebrate Golden Wedding Anniversary |
The
Front Street home of Mr. and Mrs. Al Knott was bursting at the seams
on Sunday, April 26, when over two hundred friends and relatives attended
an open house and joined in the celebration of the Knott's fiftieth
wedding anniversary. Mrs. Knott was gowned in the wedding dress she wore as a bride fifty years ago when Mrs. Ed Freeman was bridesmaid to Mrs. Knott and Ross Rail served Mr. Knott as best man. The entire affair began when the members of the family had a picnic lunch in the yard and at two in the afternoon the guest arrived and Mrs. Laurel Van Vickel and Mrs. Gail Wilcock served punch, cake, and coffee. The wedding cake was made for the occasion by the Knott's daughter, Vera of Fallbrook and she was assisted in the decorating by Vesta Berry of Henderson, Nevada. The biggest surprise of all to the Knotts was a gift of having a telephone installed and the phone bill paid for a period of one year by the Temecula community and some Murrieta residents. They also received many lovely gifts and cards. La Laguna Review Volume III No. 8 June 1964 |
